A poem a day to keep brain rot away

Join me as I attempt to create a poem a day... whether awesome, bawdy, corny, dreadful, entertaining, fabulous, gross or hilariously hokey, I will try to string together everything from couplets to limericks - just for the fun of fiddling with words!

May 3rd, 2012

Today is quite a special day. I have actually reached the one year mark. I posted my first poem on May 3rd, 2011. I have had a great time doing this. It has basically become a habit and I don’t really want to stop. So, I am going to continue this thread because I have enjoyed it so much. It’s true that most of the poems were terrible. Some were good (or at least I thought so!) but mostly they were a reflection of something I either saw that day, thought of, felt or heard. In any case, I hope you have enjoyed the ride as much as I have. Here’s to letting the word out – come what may!

Dreamland

A heaviness rests on my eyelids
Pushing them downward 
Sandy grit burns my eyes
Reddening them for the world
A misty fog settles in my brain
And the world seems to recede
My body is saying that it's time to sleep
But it's only early afternoon
The battle wages on
Every day a struggle 
Until the torpor passes
And the clouds leave
And the clock starts to tick. Again
